“Paper is one of the cheapest and most readily available craft materials and its artistic potential has delighted craftspeople for centuries.  Paper cutting requires the bare minimum of equipment – a sharp pair of scissors is often sufficient – leaving you free to devote all your attention to making beautiful and practical pieces.
Paper Cutting brings this accessible and rewarding art form to life in a series of 25 attractive and varied practical projects.  Each one is presented in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format, with full-colour photography of every stage that will help you to produce the stunning results shown in the finished pictures.
This stylish and delightful new book also includes an introduction to the craft and its varied history, as well as a gallery of work created by contemporary craftspeople that demonstrates the range of exciting possibilities to inspire you in your own artistic efforts.  Before you tackle the projects themselves, a brief guide to equipment and materials shows you how to make the most of all that paper cutting has to offer.”
